Because The Shield also repels dirt and liquids, its use on surfaces offers a safer way to keep rooms sanitized in comparison to the traditional heavy duty cleaners that many facilities have been struggling to phase out due to their health impact on cleaning staff, and even nurses and patients. In this day of concern over superbugs, that’s a big deal. It also opens up hospitals to more choices in vendors if there’s a wider selection of products that will meet their sterilization needs.
Advances in antimicrobial technology are necessary to protect the health and safety of both patients and healthcare workers. Antimicrobial products, such as hard surfaces treated with The Shield, can be powerful weapons in ensuring microbe-free surfaces and preventing healthcare-acquired infections, while also minimizing the impact on the environment.
